I know it's really hackneyed to make fun of ridiculous college football bowl games, and I'm probably about the 10,0000000 person to make fun of this, but holy crap. I thought the oversaturization and oversponsorization of bowl games reached its pinnacle with the Insight.com Bowl and the Nowdefunctsiliconvalleyupstartsearchengine.com Bowl, but clearly I was wrong.

For all I know, this isn't even a new corporate sponsor since I don't care much about college pointy-ball, but seriously, I hate bowl season, epecially this year when half the participating coaches were hired by Michigan a week before it started. Talk about the ultimate sports farce.
